The product is sprinkled lightly on the hands and spread evenly over the palms and fingers. The natural body heat then melts the powder to form a slight tack so one can have a non-slip grasp of any object. You state in your inquiry that the chlorinated paraffin and fumed silica are manufactured, blended into a powder, and ground, in the United States.

The applicable subheading will be 9801.00.1097, HTS, which provides for products of the United States when returned after having been exported, without having been advanced in value or improved in condition by any process of manufacture or other means while abroad: other: other.
